Description Gary W. Swearingen 2001-10-14 19:40:00 UTC 
cvsup(1) discussion of "-b" option and "base" keyword are not as clear
as they could be, to say the least.  (The "cvsup" command has made
things unnecessarily complicated, but it's too late to fix that.)
================

Fix: Some rewording of the "-b" option and "base" keyword descriptions,
plus a word change for consistency.   I have the keyword referencing
the option to reduce the text users must read and to make maintenance
easier and less error-prone.

patch -d "unknown uncompressed man/man1 dir" < this-PR
How-To-Repeat: n/a

Over to maintainer (even though the program in question isn't maintained in 
the FreeBSD repo).

Thanks for the patch.  I have added it to my CVSup to-do list. 

Since CVSup is not a part of FreeBSD, problem reports for it don't 
belong in FreeBSD's PR system.  So I am closing this PR.
